Fees & Scholarships
Applications for the 2027-2028 season are open until December 4,2026.
The Queen Elisabeth Music Chapel is committed to offering a unique framework for artistic and human development:
- a tailor-made relationship of strong transmission and companionship between Masters and Artists in residence
- numerous on-stage performance opportunities
- outstanding facilities in the heart of a century-old park, a true haven of concentration
- a committed team; a stimulating, close-knit community.
Maintaining this vision of excellence requires a significant investment each year.
Training fees
Thanks to the support of its community of patrons, foundations, sponsors and public partners, the Music Chapel covers 50% of the actual cost of the artists’ training from the outset.
The remaining personal contribution is adapted to each individual situation, according to the following annual scale:
- €20,000: full tuition
- €5,000: reduced tuition
- €0: full exemption from training costs
Each artist is also required to pay a €1,000 administrative fee per season.
Scholarships
Thanks to the generous support of patrons, grants of €15,000 or €20,000 are awarded based on proven financial need, following a rigorous scholarship application process. We are committed to ensuring that no artist is prevented fromjoining the Music Chapel for financial reasons.
To achieve this vision, the Music Chapel has built a model based on trust, responsibility – both individual and collective – and solidarity. These values are integral to the artistic project.
Artists in residence are asked to contribute to this collective effort according to their means, which enables the Music Chapel to continue to exist and focus on transmission to future generations of artists who aspire to the highest level of excellence.
Applying for a scholarship is no trivial matter. The scholarship application must be completed carefully and honestly. Any attempted fraud could lead to exclusion from the Music Chapel.
Candidates are encouraged to also apply for funding from other institutions, such as government grants in some countries or grants from private institutions such as BAEF (USA), Vocatio (Belgium) or Adami (France).
US citizens and permanent residents may apply separately for a $32,000 fellowship from the Belgian American Educational Foundation to support one year of advanced training at the Queen Elisabeth Music Chapel.
This fellowship is awarded through a separate application and selection process; the deadline is October 31, 2026.
